FOPS (Friends Of Pulloxhill School)

FOPS is a registered charity (reg no 1091439) run by the parents and teachers of Pulloxhill School with the aim of providing additional funding to give the children all the little extras which make their time at Pulloxhill all the more special and enjoyable.  Every parent is automatically a member of FOPS and we are always looking for fresh ideas for events or activities.

We meet on a regular basis and everyone is welcome to come along.  So if you would like to take part or if you have any suggestions for fund-raising please come along to a FOPS meeting or speak to one of the committee.  Meeting dates will usually be communicated via the whiteboard and/or text message.

The FOPS committee is elected from volunteers at the AGM, which is held in late September.  The current committee is:- to be elected for 2011/2012

What do FOPS do?

• Through our activities we are able to supplement and support our children’s education with fun social events, gifts and much-needed school equipment.

• Our biggest achievement to date has been taking over the running costs of the outdoor heated swimming pool that the children use daily during the summer term.
• FOPS provided the all-weather play surface around the Jungle Gym, allowing the children to make greater use of this wonderful feature.

FOPS funds have also been used on:-
